The outlay for infrastructure. Previously you had to own your own hardware, get a business class line, maintain it, etc. Now you just rent servers from AWS or another provider. I like to think of it like a ski rental. They build a few extra services on top to make it even more convenient, but the critical part is the hardware.

The owner of ski rental, unless or is massively profitable, if it is the sole critical income source, is textbook petit bourgeois.
The main difference is in influence wielded...
